saturday must have #8

This week's Must Haves was inspired by maps. I just found all of the atlas books and maps my dad got for me when I was cleaning out my closet and ta-da, today's must haves were thus searched for and found.


Paris Hand Cut Map by Studio K

$360

You might think this is a little pricey, but think about the time it took to cut such an intricate, delicate piece. The map measures 27 x 39 inches, unframed. Studio K can also do custom orders for a city you love!


Topography in Red No. 1 by Crafterall

$25

This piece is ready to be framed and hung in your house! I think it would also look neat to put it under a glass, shadowbox-like side table. The piece is one of a kind, hand cut from five layers of high quality, acid-free card stock. It measures 8 x 10 inches and is about 1/8" thick.


Circuit Board and Topography Map Stoneware Salad Plate by Truda Laking Glazt

$30

Not a bad price for such a beautiful piece. The plate is wheel thrown and hand carved by Truda from a series called Pattern Recognition. The plate measures 7.25" in diameter with matte and satin glazes in gold, brown, and cream with an inlaid pattern in dark blue and black. All of the glazes used are safe for food, the dishwasher, and the microwave.
